Chapter 70 Famous Ministers

Zhou Yafu has a stubborn temper, and compared with him, Dou Ying is not far behind.

If you are strong, you will be broken, and if you are strong, you will be humiliated. Ordinary people are too hard-tempered and destined to go through many tribulations; The temper of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court is too hard, and they are destined to ......

When Liu Rong was deposed, Dou Ying couldn't stop him, so he resigned from the post of prince and concubine and lived in seclusion in the mountains of Lantian County on the outskirts of Beijing.

Dou Ying's doorman advised: "The person who can be good to you is the Empress Dowager Dou." The one who can give you wealth is the emperor. If you are now openly angry with the emperor, it is tantamount to showing the world that you are a famous minister and pointing out the emperor's mistakes. The emperor is at fault, so naturally he can't tolerate you. Alienate the Queen Mother, and naturally no one will support you anymore. It's not good for you to do it to yourself. ”

Listening to the doorman's words, Dou Ying woke up in shock. "That makes sense! Everything should be done in moderation. ”

Not long after, Dou Ying returned to Beijing to greet the Empress Dowager Dou and find Liu Qi to exchange ideas. Liu Qi was very happy about Dou Ying's change, and he cared about him as always.

Dou Ying can't escape the tricks of fate after all......

Zhou Yafu died in prison, and Liu Qi was worried that someone would make a fuss about it.

Unexpectedly, the court was surprisingly calm. The Zhou family silently retrieved Zhou Yafu's body, and there were no ministers who complained about Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu, it turns out that you are so lonely!

Liu Qi was very pleased. It's been fifteen years since I inherited the throne, and I've really done a lot. Quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, selecting an excellent crown prince, eliminating the hidden danger - Zhou Yafu, maintaining the policy of resting with the people, lightly punishing the meager endowment, reducing the punishment, and maintaining the momentum of prosperity and prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

There is no need to worry about internal affairs, only external troubles still exist, and the Huns harass the border line from time to time.

Since Liu Qi ascended the throne, although the Xiongnu were active on the Han-Hungarian border, they never organized large-scale invasions. It's not that the Huns don't want to come, but they have more than enough heart and not enough strength. The national strength of the Han Dynasty has increased, and the plan of 'recruiting people and real borders' has achieved results, and the Xiongnu generation is not as good as the generation, and the strength has declined.

The strength of the Han and the Huns is declining, and now it is in a period of strategic stalemate, the Xiongnu cannot launch a war of aggression, and the Han cannot do anything to pacify the Xiongnu and remove the hidden dangers in one fell swoop.

Liu Qi continued to make peace with the Xiongnu and chose to send the princess to marry the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

In the Han Dynasty, the emperor was reluctant to send his own daughter out, so he only selected the palace maid and the daughter of the clan surnamed Liu, gave a princess name, and married the Xiongnu. How many red-faced girls have fallen victim innocently! The country is not strong, and it can't even protect its own women. It is an eternal truth that if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Winter has always been the peak of crime for the Huns. There was no way, the weather was cold, there was a shortage of food and grass, so I could only come out and rob.

In 144 B.C., quite unusually, the Huns suddenly entered the Yanmen Pass in June and rushed straight to Shangjun to grab the war horses of the Han Dynasty.

The combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry was amazing, and in the previous battles, the Han suffered a lot. During the reign of Emperor Wen Liu Heng, the Han Dynasty began to build professional horse farms. Horse farms are mainly distributed in the northwest border, a total of 36, at the peak of 300,000 horses, 30,000 maintenance personnel.

In the era of cold weapons, horses were an important strategic resource. At that time, the Taishou of Shangjun was the famous general Li Guang.

Among Li Guangjun, there was a eunuch sent by Liu Qi. When the eunuch heard that the Huns were coming, he was eager to try it and went out with dozens of followers to inspect it.

Halfway through, they encountered three Huns with bows and arrows on their backs. The eunuch relied on his large number of people and stepped forward to provoke. Dozens of followers were all shot dead by the other side, and the eunuch himself was wounded and fled back to the camp alone.

Li Guang rushed to hear the news, and after listening to the eunuch's explanation, Li Guang said firmly: "These three people must be the Condor shooters of the Huns!" ”

"How so?" The eunuch asked suspiciously.

"I often deal with the Huns, and the archery kung fu is so high, it is rare among the Huns, only their condor masters have this level." Li Guang introduced in a deep voice. After a pause, he smiled again: "General Ben can deal with them!" ”

Li Guang led a hundred cavalry and immediately set off to chase the Xiongnu's condor shooters. After chasing for dozens of miles, I finally caught up.

Boldness of execution stems from superb skill. Li Guangxiang ordered to the left and right: "You all disperse, just copy from the two loaves and intercept them!" ”

In the sound of horses' hooves, Li Guang shouted softly, rode his horse alone, and rushed towards the Hun condor archer.
